SketchUp is Google's free 3D drawing program. It's easy to use, but it's even easier when you watch someone with a lot of SketchUp experience use the application and explain what they're doing.  
</P><P>Aidan Chopra is an experienced SketchUp user. In fact, he wrote <A href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0470137444/boingboing/">Google SketchUp for Dummies</A>. (<A href="http://blogs.pcworld.com/communityvoices/archives/2007/11/book_review_goo.html">Here's PC World's generally glowing review of Chopra's book</A>.) He also created several videos available on his YouTube page that will get you quickly up to speed on the way SketchUp works. <A href="http://www.youtube.com/aidanchopra">Link</A>
